I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(
Even learning how to do the simplest thing possible that is easy to package by anybody - something like a tarball or zip - is becoming less popular :(

Hey no problem :) I totally understand and read through the linked README. FWIW I find the fact that Lemmy is in Rust, pretty… tricky. Getting Lemmy to run on my OpenBSD server started with a couple of crazy segfaults!
Time to turn your laptop into a router!
Let’s say you’ve got 2 network interfaces on your laptop, eth0
and wifi0
.
wifi0
is joined to your university WiFi as normal.
Connect your iPad to your laptop via ethernet (with a USB-C adapter).
iPad -> usb-c-ethernet -> eth0
wifi0 -> internet
Rather than setting up a DHCP server or IPv6 stuff, I’d just configure the wired interfaces manually. Let’s use the network 192.168.69.0/24. Laptop will be 192.168.69.1, iPad will be at 192.168.69.2. On the laptop:
ip addr add 192.168.69.1/24 dev eth0
On your iPad, go to Settings -> Ethernet:
Curious to see if that works.
We haven’t set up DNS or DHCP or done any sysctl
for IP forwarding or any nftables.
How can we test if it works? We can set up a TCP listener using nc(1) on the laptop that the iPad’s web browser could hit. On the laptop:
nc -l 8080
On your iPad, open Safari and browse to http://192.168.69.1:8080
Curious to see if that all works!

You may be able to run a torrent client on the NAS?
On reddit and now lemmy, I can engage with other people in both appreciation and discussion on and about things I don’t really get to otherwise, at a depth I don’t really get to otherwise.
Nicely worded. The microblog format never “clicked” for me the same way these threaded discussions do. Now I have a way to say why - thanks!
I think if I was born in a different decade I would have enjoyed Usenet or mailing lists.
I don’t know about other people, but I find these comments noisy. I’d rather just see replies to the post from actual people.
Ah yeah this hits a nerve for me: the idea that some individuals are the arbiters of medical science and knowledge. Answers to questions like “why should I brush my teeth” is something to be found in a textbook, hopefully at a public library, not to be dispensed out by some individual with fat fees.
I think IRC is a bit healthier because it is a direct interaction and there is no upvotes or any fake internet points involved.
Totally see what you mean. The points and “likes” can be tiring. In a Lemmy client I made, I don’t even bother rendering the votes. This helps. But I havent implemented threaded replies (yet?).
If there was a way to interact with Lemmy more like a mailing list I’d be using that instead.
Think about how and why you joined in the first place, and see if that is being fulfilled. For example, I joined because I wanted to be able to practice communicating with people in writing and to share some of my stories. Interacting on here still gives me that feeling. It’s not the same sense of community I get from the programming language community in my city. But there’s a little bit of something here that I can’t seem to find elsewhere yet.
You mentioned “isolating addiction”. If you have that feeling it’s time to take a break.
Interesting - will look into Friendica. I just hacked up the latest stable release of Lemmy to run on OpenBSD but it’s not something I think I want to maintain long-term. Looking for something that will last a while, kinda like email but maybe not that long!
My colleagues back in the early bitcoin and cryptocurrency days were mining across any spare infra and customer servers they could get their hands on. Back when you could do it with just CPU.
Haha no worries mate I totally get you. One of the best things about LLMs when I’ve played with them is it exercises my ability to write questions and requirements
Way to make me feel silly for having both an account on both a Mastodon server and a Lemmy server! ;)
Let’s say a function, about 20 lines. Something too small to warrant an external dependency but tricky enough that you don’t want to keep rewriting it.
I have things like a function to read through a file of newline delimited text of key-value pairs separated by whitespace. It skips comments (lines beginning with “#”), and returns the pairs. I’m happy to do a little copying instead of having a little dependency.
Alpine Linux might be good, too. It’s different. But that makes it a great exercise. See https://drewdevault.com/2021/05/06/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.html
I mean, I get it. But… damn… can you imagine the relative computing power required to read a text file versus asking a LLM to generate that same text?
Sorry guys I’m out of the loop - could someone explain this?
